A young woman, an undocumented immigrant identified only as Lucy, confronted Mitt Romney in New York on Wednesday about his repeated threats to veto the DREAM Act if he were president. As previously reported, Romney has said that he would veto the act because he thinks that giving "special benefits" to undocumented immigrants "contrary to the idea of a nation's laws." Lucy asked Romney why he opposed her dreams and when he began to go back to his same talking point about people being in the country "illegally." Lucy cut him off saying that she wasn't illegal. She was brought to the United States from Peru when she was 10. Romney's handlers then moved him along and he didn't respond to Lucy's comment.

According to a press release from the DRM Capitol Group, a voice for undocumented youth, Romney supporters harassed Lucy:

Lucy made her way out while Romney supporters berated her. They booed and hissed, saying that she was illegal and not worth keeping in the country. As she made her way out, she heard one man yell “Go back to Mexico.” She turned around and replied “I’m not Mexican, I’m Peruvian.”

Perhaps someone can explain to the Goggle-Eyed Homunculus the proper adjectival form of the word "Democrat"...or would that be too educational for this coward? So, you feel free to substitute your judgment for that of the actual residents of your state? What a shitbag Walker is!! Mealy-mouthed tool of the Koch brothers and ALEC...that's some winning resume you have there, smiley. Rest assured that Scott Effing Walker will never, EVER be President of this country. It's enough to make a man turn to religion...almost.

I'll tell you about the REAL cost-shifting that used to take place: Back before the ACA went into effect, if you had NO insurance and didn't qualify for Medicare or Medicaid, you got socked, big time. For example, while I had insurance through COBRA, a CT scan (for a lung condition) cost the insurer $800. If I paid out of pocket, it would have been some bullshit amount like $3000--for the same procedure!If hospitals need to cut costs, then they should start with their administrative staffs' bloated fucking salaries! They can be paid well without being paid like Kings!
